When the answer needs an answer !!
Ive had a bunch of sweets recently. And good heavens, it was miserable. All the mental/ physical health issues and little things that went away all flooded back. It was the worst, I am "hard headed" as the older generations would say so I need to go through these back and forths to overcome my sugar addiction. But it reminds me of why I started carnivore in the first place. I was sick of being sick and out of control with food/life. Its a struggle, you will fall but keep on going carnivores!
I'm exactly in the same situation
Me too
Same. On a good note, when I did fall off the beef chuck wagon I still obstained from putting sugar in tea and coffee. I will probably never add it again for the rest of my life. Chocolate and desserts can be a struggle at holidays for me
I also had that in the beginning. (Almost 5 years carnivore now, before that keto and low carb) But the longer I was carnivore the easier it was for me to stay away from that stuff. And the longer I didn't have sweets they tasted too sweet for me very often. Now when I smell 'food' I ate before becoming carnivore I don't miss it anymore and the smell often is even disgusting to me. But I also feel Bad physically when I eat non-carnivore stuff. I get my joint pain back, IBS and feel bad mentally. So I always started carnivore very quickly again after fallinh of the wagon. I think the longer you are on carnivore the easier it gets. Maybe the body realizes how bad the non-carnivore stuff is and the taste somehow adjusts. 🤗 I Wish you all the best! 🥩🧈🥓🥚
Too much protein increases insulin as it turns it into glucose it can be bad
Started carnivore in September to fight fungating breast tumor at 105 lbs. 5'2". 87 yrs. December began Fenben as well but now only weigh 85. Hard to keep weight up on carnivore. All minor aches and inflammations have cleared up, so staying the course for the cancer. Of course am taking an array of vits mins and cancer fighting specifics (mushrooms, circumen etc.). Jumping on rebounder. Busy every day as co-caregiver for terminal son-in-law and doing all errands daily with cooking for him too. Started 3mgs ivermectin in mornings a week ago. Hoping for less pain and tumor growth soon.💖🙏
good luck, and thank you for your report.💖
I think you need to add more animal fat to your diet to keep your weight up 😅
Black seed oil...
God bless you.
God bless you, truly! You got this. 🙏🏼❤
sooo. how about a yes or no for those that have no clue what point she is trying to make.
The one-word answer is "No". This is because 60% (some sources say it ranges from 50% to 80%) of the protein we consume is turned into glucose by a process that ends up generating significantly more heat than the digestion of fats or carbs.
Note that eating an ultra-high protein diet, e.g., only rabbit meat, is lethal and, therefore, could affect one's weight loss...
The Yes portion can only come into effect when a body builder for instance, drinks protein shakes all day. you have to have well over a normal dosage to gain weight from it. Also, when media people talk about high carb or high fat they can mean up to 80% of caloric intake. There are very few people that will eat more than 40% of protein as calories, generally high protein is over 20% of calories.
@@Santa-ny1yp Indeed. Your numbers sound like good rough estimates. Bodybuilders often do want to gain weight.
@@petermadany2779 Eg: Another carnivore mentioned eating 2 ribeyes a day so that's 100% some days and thats it. So is that too much?
Also did not understand rabbit reference. I am a novice...
@@JillinOhio Almost 1/3 of the weight or 1/2 of the calories in a ribeye are fat, with the rest being protein. Some carnivores increase the fat in their diet by consuming butter and bacon.
Wild rabbit meat is about 90% protein and 10% fat. Humans CANNOT live for months on a diet that has 90% protein.
Kelly Hogan is one example i always keep in mind , when she started Carnivore, she gained weight for a long time ,,then she lost weight!! Guys, follow the simple rules, trust the procedure, un-follow any one who makes it complicated..humans never ran around with calculators for fat and protein..!!.
I hope this happens to me.
Salient point…”ran around”
@@Infiniti25 Only ran when needed with hunting or evading trouble. Mostly walked . Running everyday for no reason is silly.
@@troysrightI course…I was alluding to being more active and moving instead of sat in one position for 8-12hours a day then sitting even more at home.
No room for such complacency in history as it means difference between life and death.
Last 10 months plateaued at 40lbs lost. Some say I must do a daily fast and keep a window of a few hours that I eat in order to break the plateau. That seems miserable feeling very hungry every day. I've been strict Carnivore Diet (CD) since 6-24-22 and never hungry. I'm still obese but many metabolic syndrome issues got much better. I have 60lbs more to lose. So you're saying for some on CD the greater weight loss will come if you stay the course, but how long is long? Still I was a vegetarian 32 years and obese with all metabolic issues and lost weight at times but never kept it off like I have been on CD. I owe a lot to Dr. Berry and support his cause. Thanks for your comment!
Can I have some dressing with that word salad?
Exactly!, lol
No, that’s not carnivore!!! 😂😂😂😂
😂
typical femalese/womanese
I love y'all but this video made no sense to me.
Didn’t to me either.
It's based on people saying high protein will cause Glycogenesis and disrupt weight loss. The video is informing us that isn't the case
@@HoneyBeeRoses thank you so much for the clarity
Cause your dumb.
C'mon man, it's the thermogenic effect! 😀
I eat protein ( meat and eggs ) everyday! It’s sugar and bad carbs that cause weight gain.
Exactly
Carnivore 2024.
I see when I eat carbs I start swelling and bloating.
I have been carnivore 2 1/2 months and I’ve gained weight. No sugar no carbs no in between snacks. Meat and fat only. 7 lbs heavier
I like to ask people who have lived to their 90’s and lived healthy lives , little to no health issue, what is their secret. None said all protein no carbs. They all eat an occasional sugary snack but in extreme moderation. They do eat meat and vegetables and they eat small portions. Eat consistently and no late night snacking. Get good sleep and no smoking and little to no alcohol. So, I’ll stick with that.
Life is meant to be enjoyed and to not overthink our diets. 😊
@@cjhoward409 your wrong, a small amount of bad things is worse than zero bad things.
Wow, that was a long non-answer. But at least she used lots of impressive words
😂
She wants to make sure you get a look at those gargantuan LIPS!
Yep
@tplgolf
Based on a trial she conducted at her own clinic....the answer was no. Maybe add a carb or two to your macros....it might clear up your foggy brain.
That was certainly a mouthful of impressive words. So what's the plain answer to the original question?
Her answer was, no, as long as it is a high protein, moderate fat, low carb diet. The problem with her answer is that the Carnivore Diet is high protein, high fat, zero-very low carb, so it seems clear she's not a fan of Carnivore, at least when it comes to losing weight. I doubt Dr. Ken agrees with her, even though he was nodding along.
Nope
@@Cosmo-Kramer
Thanks. So I guess I'm not the only one who found it a little confusing.
@Cosmo-Kramer
Thank you for the translation. I watched the video a few times and I agree with your interpretation and analysis. I just listened to Dr Elizabeth Bright on Dr Chaffee’s channel and found her insight into high fat and regulation of hormones (since hormones are made of cholesterol) to be far more realistic and seem to be accurate with how my body performs best. I don’t really agree with this woman’s assessment of lower fat, but if it works for others, who am I to judge? But I would encourage listening to Dr Bright as an opposing source to the lower fat diet. It’s interesting if you want to hear a different take on this same question.
I think the confusion comes from not emphasizing what she meant by " high protein, low fat , " etc. How high is "high" and how low is "low". When we speak , in our carnivore/keto community, high protein, low fat the only one thing comes to my mind PSMF. Which is great for losing weight for short time . Done it . Still once in a while do it when need to loose some pounds because I eat other days high fat and eventually gain some . Well. That's me.
What was the main takeaway? Too much protein is ok or bad?
My girl and I have been strict carnivore for a year now with all the benefits including weight loss until we started making beef jerky. We make our beef jerky from lean ground beef, 93/7 so as not to get the dehydrator full of fat. We usually eat these dried strips of beef by dipping them in grass fed butter, absolutely delicious but we have both put back on a couple pounds, not a lot but we sure aren't losing any more. So 2 days ago my girl had a blood workup done, she is a respiratory therapist at a local hospital and I suppose it is mandatory. Everything was perfect except her glucose level was high, 109. Dr.said it was nothing to worry about but she should cut out the sugar, she replied I don't eat sugar. Then the Dr. said well, cut out the bread and carbs, she said I dont eat bread and carbs and then explained that she is carnivore for over a year. That was the end of the conversation. So we are going to replace our beef jerky with butter bites and see how that goes.
109 isn't bad
wow, that was one long, convoluted, hard to understand answer!
It certainly was!
I agree I didn't get what she said at all
indeed
The short answer is ......no
Not convoluted, educational The answer is no.
I’ve had to up my fat lately because I found myself absolutely starving on the beef butter bacon and eggs diet - I had no satiety no matter how much I let myself eat and I started gaining weight and slowed down losing inches around my waist. It’s the first time since starting keto I found myself binge eating again right before bed. I was so frustrated. I felt like I could eat 10 ribeyes and still go to bed hungry. As soon as I added more fat, I finally felt satisfied.
Also, I was listening to Dr Elizabeth Bright over in Dr Chaffee’s channel and she said that women who aren’t athletic need about 80% fat and 20% protein while men are more 70/30. I know for me, I feel better with more fat, but on really active days, I crave leaner protein.
The higher protein, lower fat low carb approach royally messed me up. I was being coached so stayed with it far too long trying to make it work and prove I wasn’t lying about what I was eating.
It was so weird for me to all of a sudden be starving all the time - it wasn’t like that the first month of carnivore, though. I was obsessing over eating again, even if I just ate 1000 calories of ribeye an hour earlier. I just couldn’t stop this insane hunger. After about a month, I started putting butter in everything again and drinking fat. I finally got to the point where I felt normal and satisfied again. I had never been so hungry before and since I track my calories, I know I was eating plenty, but I couldn’t go to bed with out binging on a ton of meat. I started sneaking food again, which I used to do before keto, which was a year ago. I need the fat, I guess!
OMG, I’ve been dealing with the same thing-insane hunger after 3 months of being fine on carnivore! It’s been driving me mad, causing cravings and leading me to overeat and cheat! I had already had a weight loss stall after about one month on carnivore (no cheating or overeating at that point), so I was already thinking of adding more fat, but I was still so perplexed by this new hunger. All I could think was that it might’ve been caused by having ONE stevia sweetened vitamin water (not a norm for me-desperate thirst on a long drive), or a sudden shift to lack of sleep and higher physicality with a job change (cortisol/adrenals taxed). Anyway, glad to know I’m not alone, and I hope I will have success adding more fat as you did!
@Caitlin That sounds exactly like my situation. That video with Dr Bright also mentioned that if your cortisol is high, the fat is more helpful, too. So increasing your fat may be good if you’re really stressed.
I was so frustrated my binge eating and cravings all of a sudden appeared. I was still eating a good amount of fat, around 60-70%, but it just wasn’t enough. I made sure to increase it to at least 75% and I made sure to take some extra vitamins and minerals just in case I was deficient. I hate liver, so maybe I’m not getting enough nutrients (I do eat duck eggs, though).
I just got bloodwork done yesterday, so I’ll be able to see if I am deficient somewhere, but I feel better increasing my fat. I feel like I’m back to being in control of my diet again instead of obsessing over food like I did all the time before I started keto.
I started carnivore in 2016. Lost a ton of systemic inflammation and got healthier. When my weight loss stalled, I noticed my blood sugars were slightly elevated for long periods of time after a good rib eye.
The answer for me was to lower the protein to .5 grams per pound of lean mass. I increased fat intake in the form of animal fat gee/butter and olive oil. Protein was around 20%. Zero carb. I also tested urine ketones which were non existent on high protein.
The key for me was to get into ketosis using higher fat intake which shut off gluconeogenisis issue.
For me personally, it appeared the blood sugar elevation was not significant but enough to keep ketosis at bay halting my fat loss. I was able to get much leaner when making these changes.
Thx. That helped!
Question for you and/or others in the know. I looked into the keto diet and almost every article, video, or blog ALWAYS talks about ketosis and its benefits. It seems to be the most used word in the keto community. Fast forward to today when I've been researching carnivore for weeks now and the word ketosis is hardly ever mentioned!!! WHY IS THAT? It's my understanding carnivore is even BETTER than keto in that everyone doing real carnivore must certainly be in ketosis. Why is one community all about ketosis and the other hardly even mentions it? Seems very strange to me. THANKS everyone/anyone.
@@usaman7358 because on carnivore, you're basically in turbo-ketosis. Almost nobody bothers to talk about it, because generally speaking, getting into ketosis isn't a problem with carnivore. I have stopped bothering to check my ketone levels while on carnivore.
Back when I was "regular" keto, I had to manage my protein intake so it was below a certain level, and I checked my ketone levels periodically, to verify I was in ketosis.
@usaman7358, urine ketones were non-existent because you used them and did not waste any. ketones in the urine appear only initially while the body is getting fat adapted. at the later stages you need to measure your blood ketones to get a usable info.
@y00t00b3r it's more complicated than that. not all carnivore is created equal. someone doing lots of dairy and leaner meats and eating frequently isn't necessarily in ketosis all the time or even frequently. But with 1 or 2 meals a day with no dairy included (just meat and eggs) and fasting in between the meals drifts into ketosis between the meals. Usually right after meals one gets out of ketosis. Yes, being in ketosis definitely has health benefits but it isn't necessary to be in ketosis all the time. Not eating plants has a ton of benefits in and itself.
Clear as mud. Bringing calories into the discussion just invalidates the discussion.
" you can't eat photons"
Bart Kay
Generally, I would agree, though not in this case. I am a firm UNbeliever in the usefulness of the "Calories In, Calories Out" mantra, but occasionally talking about calories is relevant.
With no better metric commonly in use I have to agree, excuse me for the occasional rant lol.@@petermadany2779
I am glad to say that I have a A1C of 5.9 with out meds. I was at 13.9 with meds when I started. Thank you Dr. Berry, you saved my life.
From these medical doctor saying eat more carbs take more insulin.
Nothing like causing weight gain and heart attacks.
Ken I have been keto carnivore for 7 years. I work the night shift driving trucks. I have found out that I will gain weight even though I’m eating only meat , if I eat when my cortisol is elevated. Early am. I will also get more hungry. If I eat after 10:00 am I will lose the weight I gained. So it depends on when you eat for great success.
Ken? Did you mean Dr. Berry? Of course you might be a personal friend. If so my apologies.
This is interesting.
Stick with more fat. This pure protein advice is not right AT ALL. In fact could be not so good - do more research on it, but most of the experience comes back as too much protein means trouble. The fat has to be very high, (no carbs of course). Meat like Beef Brisket, or Pork Belly, are loaded with fats. Better than lean. You sleep better and weight goes down as your hunger is satiated.
@@Jaquableu you added nothing on this topic.
🙄😣
What are you doing up at 10am working the night shift? 😃
Have to agree to disagree here, I spent a year and a half on Carnivore pretty strict(would rate myself at an 8.5/10, not perfect but no milk, very limited heavy cream, small amounts of cheese every other day at most, very rarely would have a one off cheat meal) and weight loss stalled out fairly quick, later skin tags stopped disappearing. Blood work showed a fasting insulin of 13 despite not having cheated once in over two months prior.
Switched to roughly an 80/20 split of calories from fat/protein and immediately started losing weight again without actually making any changes to the specific foods I was eating(other than banning all cuts of meat from birds forever due to being too lean). Skin tags started shrinking again, mood improved, psoriasis fully cleared up again, muscle gain actually increased despite cutting protein to at least 1/3rd if not less. Yeah everyone is different, do your own N+1, etc. but to imply that high enough protein can't stall/reverse weight loss in at least some individuals who are strict keto/carnivore feels a little disingenuous. Yeah, you can't spike your blood sugar like you can eating a bowl of cereal or pasta, you probably can't give yourself full blown T2D, but if your primary caloric intake is protein then your primary fuel source is still glucose.
It's a mistake I've made, and one I hope nobody else does. Kind of feels like the whole year that I yoyoed between 240 and 250 was wasted on doing it wrong.
Very helpful N=1, thank you
Thank you ! I will try that as I am getting somewhat frustrated.
@gb4326
She gave us an answer based on a clinical trial that she conducted. Whether you agree or disagree, matters not.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I eat a little bit to much protein actually in ratio to fat, i will increase fat and decrease protein a little bit
Are you saying it was the ratio more than the amount of protein?
I really don't get what that woman is trying to say. Vague and unconvincing. -- I can tell you this, though: back when I was first started doing keto, I was unable to get myself into ketosis before I *REDUCED* my protein intake below a certain level. It was like 100 grams a day.
I am now carnivore, and things seem to work differently when there are absolutely zero carbs in the diet. I can gobble all sorts of meat and protein, and have no problem remaining in ketosis.
Your post was helpful. Thank you because I am starting too and having alot of trouble getting into Ketosis as well.
@@Lyndab94 Good luck to you! It took me six months to figure out what worked for me. That was ten years ago.
@@y00t00b3r that gives us hope ! we are absolute beginners ( 2 months) and we need to learn too !
Dr. Lyon wasn't trying to convince you of anything. She gave the results of a clinical trial that she conducted. For some reason, your brain got scrambled. I'll bet that your brain has been scrambled your whole life.
In my experience when i over eat protein i put on weight 😟
track your total calorie intake, I cut on high protein but in caloric deficit!
Wow, I wish I could ! It just doesn’t happen for me.
Try going entirely carnivore. When I was "regular" keto, I had to keep my protein intake down under 100 grams per day. I no longer have to do that.
Because you build muscle mass, ofcourse you will weight more. You guys sometimes come with some dumb comments😂
@@MiguelAlvarezAdams you have no understanding of what you are replying to
She talked a lot but didnt say anything. Im more confused than before i watched!
@christophertitanium8424
I'm good with whatever works for ya, but a bunch of you carnivores are easily confused. Try an ice cold, high fructose Coke one in awhile to wake y'all up.
Certainly one thing I have noted as a GP in my keto, ketovore and carnivore patients is that many, including myself, do have a slightly raised fasting BSL (5.5-6.5 mmol / L or 100-117 mg/dL) but is almost invariably accompanied by a low Hba1c and insulin. I was attributing it to the AM wake up stress hormone effect (cortisol, adrenaline), and postulating if this might actually be normal human physiology that is just not recognized anymore in this modern carbohydrate dominant world.
It's more likely that carnivore/ no carb diets are no longer used to drinking 75 grams of sugar water and glucose is locked out of the cells due to the randle cycle. The test is useless for strict keto.
@@cornstar1253 The fasting BSL that I was referring to doesn't involve drinking 75g glucose. It's just fasting with water only. You're referring to a oral glucose tolerance test.
This is my second period on the carnivore diet. Cramp pain went from 12/10 to 3/10. This is the main reason I've kept going. Anxiety is almost no more, unless im dealing with "foolishness" at work. My Eyebrows have always been sparse, and im excited to share that I can visibly see them growing in, I see baby hairs along my hairline as well. The scale has not moved much, but my body looks completely different. Everyone keeps asking about my face lol. I used to be insecure about the "bags" under my eyes. Even if I sleep or drink lots of water, they are there and noticeable. I always thought it was because i wear glasses or something, but since eating like this.... i just feel very pretty when i look in the mirror, and my eyes look bigger. (Please let me know if anyone has experienced this.) So much so, i want contacts. I went from stressing everyday about what I was finna eat, tracking and forcing myself to do a bunch of cardio. Now I simply throw some meat in the pan or boil eggs, eat until I feel full, and im good until the next day pretty much. I decided to focus on diet and not lifting. However, i had so much energy last weekend, i went. I normally do squats/leg press around 80lbs. But when I say that felt way too easy, im not kidding. I needed to add, not 1 but 3 more plates to feel a challenge. I was so shook, and this is after taking a month off. My only issue is sometimes I feel dizzy, or tired. For example, I started my period, this morning, almost fell trying to make it to the bathroom. I looooove coffee, but this morning it made me feel nauseous, and I could smell something that turned me off. I ended up throwing up, made some ground beef instead, and I feel soooooooooo much better. It was almost instant.
I've cheated one time because it was my father-in-law's birthday. my man really wanted me to share a piece of chocolate cake with him, so i did. however the next day I broke out and I had a TERRIBLE headache for two days, so I made him take care of me lol. afterwards, I had to have a conversation with my family to tell them to please stop trying to force me to eat stuff because I literally feel terrible afterwards. Now if we go out my man will speak up with me like "no, she said no. She literally gets sick, and i prefer when shes awake and happy. Not grumpy" lol I also find it crazy how people look concerned about the fact that I'm eating a piece of steak or putting salt on my food. but they can sit there and eat an extra large coke, cake, cookies and pies in one sitting. I got into an argument with my aunt because she said "wow thats a lot of salt" and i said "wow thats alot of sugar... arent you diabetic?????" Mind your business lol
1) I hope it fixes both my and my daughter's cramps
2) gosh, that's a great comeback! I might need to borrow it at some point LOL
Just became a Tribe Member y'all are such a blessing to me and many others. My name is Jackson Collins. I've been doing Ketovore for over a month now and I feel great. Thank You
After several years on keto and finally losing 51 lbs, I was greatly dissatisfied with my weight loss progress (240 to 189) and decided to try carnivore. Within two months, still only eating one meal per day, just having changed that one meal to meat only(mostly beef but some salmon, some eggs, and rarely chicken), I regained all of the weight that I had lost.
I have given up trying to lose weight. I will never revert to a diet that includes carbs, but carnivore did nothing for me. I went back to keto and cannot lose any weight at all. At 5’5 and 240, this sucks, but it’s apparently my reality.
You’ve got to figure calories in there as well. I’m like you. As you lose on keto you must decrease calories in or ramp up metabolism to burn off the excess. 189 lb fat ass doesn’t need the calories a 240lb total slob does. I speak from my own experience.
Well, that's disheartening.
Have you considered doing a series of one-on-one consults with a good keto Dr to try and nail down whatthehell is going on with your situation?
I'd be so p155ed, I'd be on that pronto.
If you’re a female you want to find a doctor, I prefer naturopath, that will check your estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone levels using either 24 hour urine to analyze or sending in saliva.
You also want to get your vitamin D levels checked. Low vitamin D levels can actually cause weight gain. So it’s possible you’re eating correctly but you can’t lose the weight because of low vitamin D stalling it.
I lost more weight with Atkins than with carnivore. I ate less with carnivore too. Carnivore kept me feeling fuller and less cravings than Atkins but was highly disappointed with my weight loss.
@angelhelp This seems to be my reality too. I lost 50lbs on keto back in 2019 & I felt SO much better mentally & physically, but eventually for no apparent reason my weight loss stalled (still had 20lbs to go to be at a normal, healthy weight for my height/age). That was about the time when Dr. Berry started pushing Carnivore more than Keto. Since his & his wife’s video had helped me learn so much valuable info on Keto, I figured his info on Carnivore would help. But not only did I regain weight (20lbs) on carnivore, I felt nauseated all the time because of only eating meat & butter & mentally I got very depressed & started obsessively thinking about food & thinking of eating 24/7, though I’m not entirely sure why. I don’t know if it was because of some sort of withdrawal symptoms from going keto to zero carb or just because I’ve gone my entire life enjoying food & for the first time in my 50 yrs of life I started dreading having to eat because I was so restricted. I do my best to get all my vitamin/mineral requirements & if I feel like I’m not getting it in my food, I use additional vitamins/supplements. I even started to wonder if I had developed some sort of eating disorder since I was starting to get mentally depressed & overly obsessive over what I put into my body. I finally decided Carnivore wasn’t right for me & went back to doing Keto, focusing solely on REAL low carb food (not the processed keto crap that has popped up on grocery store shelves in recent years). Did I loose the extra weight? NOPE. I’m still GAINING weight. And now Dr. Berry & his wife rarely even make videos about Keto anymore, it’s all Carnivore info. So now I feel hopeless. I guess I’m just meant to be overweight & uncomfortable in my body regardless of how well I try to respect & treat it by putting the best quality foods I can find into it. I know this sounds dramatic, but I feel like all three….Dr. Berry, his wife and my body have betrayed me. This video doesn’t help the average person one bit. It’s just a bunch of medical jargon & skirting around a real answer for us regular people to understand. I give up trying to lose weight. Like you, I will never go back to eating high carb, but apparently being fat is just my reality.
Dr B. Please explain what she just said.
Eat your meat😂
Too much protein raises my blood sugar in spite of being keto for years.
It raises slowly though, unlike carbs.
I’m sorry I don’t want to be rude or judgmental, but I just can’t get past the constant big-lip pursing. I found it as off putting as the narrative.
Me too. Too much plastic surgery. Very hard to watch.
@vitalishus
Well..... you are rude and judgemental. So much so, that you missed the answer.
@@user-km7tv7pz7m no, it was merely a personal observation nothing more!
Missed the answer to what - to what are you referring? As far as the narrative goes, I miss nothing.
It is amazing, how many medical doctors are on the Carnivore diet. From what I see, most carnivore diet RUclipsrs are doctors. Some are just regular people, but they also interview lots of doctors about it. I started the carnivore diet on the 16th of March 2024, yep only 3 days ago, I have given up sugar, milk, and I'm drinking cream with my coffee, (Not giving that up yet). So far, I have lost 3.2 Kg's. I have lost literally 1kg per day since starting this. My depression has left me already, I'm going through some cravings right now, but I was expecting that, so I have just accepted that that is part of the process, (that makes it easier to cope). For years I have had bloodshot eyes, now the whites of my eyes are really white. I'm experiencing a mild headache at the moment, and I am putting that down to removing sugar from my diet. I had a couple of aspirin so hopefully that will get rid of that. I was still drinking lactose-free milk till yesterday because it satiated my sugar cravings, and then I found out why. Milk is full of sugar, but cream is okay. Currently, I'm off from work, and that is going to test me the most. They don't have cream in the lunchroom fridge, and people tend to steal things from the fridge, so I don't want to waste money buying cream just for it to be stolen or used up before I get to it. So I guess it is going to be black sugarless coffee for me tomorrow afternoon. That should be interesting. Sorry I just wanted to share my cool progress. I will be eating lots of fat too. Thanks for all of your awesome advice regarding the carnivore diet.
? She kept talking about lower fat not sure I understood this one cause I never hear the lower fat aspect on the carnivore spaces: and then it was cut off.
This is only a clip. Check out the full video. Just search Dr. Berry Dr. Gabrielle Lyon.
@@BriarRoseA thanks
I tried the carnivore diet and it made me sick to my stomach. As soon as I cut back on the fat
(trim the fat on the edge of the ribeye,
do not add coconut oil to my coffee,
do not cook my hamburger in butter,
but yes to cooking chicken in butter) it started working for me.
I am a firm believer for each individual experimenting & seeing what works for them.
@@BriarRoseA that’s why they have the short clip. That’s what they want you to do. More members 😂
Thanks for sharing, Dr Berry and Dr Lyon. 🙂

I watch that show “My 600 pound Life” and Dr Nowzardan puts his patients on a high protein low carb diet and when they follow that lifestyle, they lose weight. It works !
Not disagreeing, but to be fair, really any kind of food restriction will work for weightloss for a 600 pound individual, if they follow it.
Any calorie restricted 1200 calorie diet would do the same
No because controling hunger is the key for losing weight.
High protein and low carb will control hunger and cravings enabling you to lose weight.
1200 calories of carbs will just make you hungry and miserable. @@Jodie-masterson
Of course, however, the high protein keeps them satiated for longer than a higher carb, lower protein calorie deficit diet would therefore working better by producing less binging, also, anyone that obese needs way more than just 1,200 calories, even while in their deficit @@Jodie-masterson
Agrees if you’re used to eating 10k calories a day, eating 1200 calories of anything will not satisfy or satiate someone of that size. Eating a carnivore diet will greatly improve their health in the shortest amount of time. @@Rosemary46840
Great Question and great answer!
She's absolutely on point! The body does not store protein, so if not utilized(to build muscles, for example), the body will recycle and convert the protein into a usable energy source. However, the process by which the body does this(since protein is not the preferred energy resource), requires MORE* energy than it produces[edit: poor choice of words, see note below]. So, all things equal, a person would actually lose weight on a high protein, low carb diet.
*Note: Not that it requires more energy than it produces, but rather; it requires a measure of energy, resulting in an overall smaller gain than usual. For example; It's like expecting 1 gram of protein to produce 4 calories, but forgetting that the process itself requires some energy, so you end up with 3.2 calories instead. Gotta pay a little for the service.😉
Which is exactly what I've been doing since last April. It's called Atkins. 45 lbs gone.
" requires MORE energy than it produces"
You're telling me protein has negative calories?
@Oryon7 Thank you for explaining what she said. I honestly just came away really confused after listening to her. Not her fault, but it was just really difficult for me to understand. I thought about re-listening to the video, but once you explained what was said, I don't have to now thanks!
Also called “rabbit starvation”. Rabbit meat is almost all protein and no fat, so one could theoretically eat rabbit meat and still starve.
Most of us felt that way. I had to read comments to try to comprehend. @@Sheryl777
If she had started by saying NO I might have understood what she said afterwards.
@farewellcancer
I bet you wouldn't have.
Wtf did she say with that word salad 😂
@sirenmuscle
On a high protein, moderate fat, lower carb diet, and allowed to eat until full, not a single subject gained weight. Some of you carnivores are meatheads!
Fasting is one sure away to get into ketosis, then you don't have to worry about macros
Every family needs a farmer.
7 days without beef makes one weak.
Eat fatty red meat, drink water and move around in the sun.
Amazing information!!
Thanks so much😊
Thank you for sharing with us.
Former t2d. I can easily gain more weight 30+ lbs in a matter of months, if I eat as much as I want. 100% carnivore 3.5yrs. I experiment on myself all the time. Everyone is different.
PROTEIN - the macro nutrient everyone in the low carb community now seems to be fighting over.
Just recently, I saw a video by The Carb Addiction Doc saying that prioritizing protein is BS, BS, BS… his emphasis, not mine.
I believe it was Professor Ben Bikman that said sugar production via gluconeogenesis is not “automatic” but rather demand driven and that excess protein is just peed away.
I can’t keep track.
I have found that too much protein with insufficient fat caused my A1C to rise.
One thing I learned years ago, that no one seems to mention anymore, is that when you start eating a low-carb, high protein diet, your body starts rebuilding all your cells and you will gain weight. But once that initial rebuilding phase is done, you will then start to lose weight but mostly in the form of fat loss. Technically, losing weight is a misnomer, anyone who wants to be thinner really wants to lose fat. I've seen fit people who weigh more than a fat person may times in my life. Muscle weighs more than fat.
Well said, it couldn’t be simpler 😮
Alright can we talk about how she looks exactly like Jim Carrey in the mask tho? 😳
To much protein will absolutely prevent you from entering ketosis. Which in turn prevents you from using fat for energy. Causing what? Excessive amounts of fats in your system. I've been carnivore for 5 months, cannot get into ketosis. I eat 4 carbs a day. Coming from 1 whole avocado. I do my macros, and have around 250g fat and up to 195g or protein. That's on workout days. Non workout days my fats stay pretty much the same but protein drops 40-50g. In turn, this is destroying my labs. Sent all my lipids through the roof. So be careful when doing carnivore or any diet. It does not work the same for everyone. Crappy part, I've lost 35lbs and feel great. Must just be a calorie deficient. FYI...I eat 3200 calories a day and I'm starving all day.
On carnivore I feel best with fatty meat mentally. When I decrease fat I tend to lose more weight but don't feel as good. 😅
But I am still breastfeeding so maybe my body does need more fatty red meat for the nutrients to produce milk.
I'm the same and 54, NOT nursing😅. So I just stick with my fatty meat to feel my best and some regular fasting to get into ketosis and fat burning (but that's not recommended when nursing)

This explains why I am naturally attracted to beef roast with very little fat. Thank you for the information.
I can hardly stand to eat lean meat. The fatty cuts of beef roast are the best-tasting.
It would be nice of you to have introduced the lady you had as a guest answering the protein question.
Dr. Ken D. Berry, I have been following your RUclips videos since 2 years ago. Thanks to you I have improved greatly from type 2 diabetes and hypertension and no longer on drug medication. I applied "8 hours eating window period per day" intermittent fasting with 1/2 keto diet.
Yesterday I read your PHD ebook. I am not too happy with your article on plant cooking oils. i think for better clarity, there is a need to differentiate plant cooking oils between industrial refined plant cooking oils and cold pressed plant cooking oils.
I would like you to consider the following:
Highly processed foods also contribute to the modern chronic diseases.
The most dangerous of all highly processed food is the industrial refined plant cooking oils.
The US government says soya bean oils are good, and palm oils are bad.
The Malaysian government says palm oils are good, and soya bean oils are bad.
The truth is, both are bad.
The most dangerous aspect of these industrial refined plant cooking oils is not that they are polyunsaturated omega 6 oils. That is only secondary in concern.
The primary concern is that these industrial refined plant cooking oils are refined using toxic chemicals and exposed to a very high heat processing.
This makes the cooking oils very toxic, cancerous, and not fit for human consumption.
In the standard safety guidelines for food to be fit for human consumption, the food that is exposed to heat exceeding 150 degrees Celsius is not considered fit for human consumption.
The standard heat process of cooking oils in the industrial cooking oil refinery exceeds 200 degrees Celsius.
A good and safe alternative to industrial refined plant cooking oils is cold pressed plant cooking oils such as cold pressed coconut oil and extra virgin olive oil.
Cold pressed plant cooking oils are fit for human consumption as they are not subject to toxic chemical and high heat processing.
Why was this video even posted?
Bait so you’ll look them both up and watch their videos.
@lindadunn8787
To point out how many easily confused dullards there are.
I like high fat including meat and eggs but good to know more protein doesn't mess you up. Eating good nutrition is the way, carbs are a hard no if you're obese/insulin resistant. Regular fasting is a great way to help reset/fix your bodys appetite hormones too
@@HelenNorton
"I think you will find many leaders in the carnivore community do not agree with this advice sandcat." Oh, no! Good heavens, Helen.....whatever shall we do!
Great video Dr. (Doctor) Ken D Berry. Also to all did you know that lightning goes the opposite way you see it going?
Thank You👁.
Wow. Before I knew it this video stopped abruptly !! I ask myself why!!
Short “bait”
They want you to look them both up and watch their videos.
Dr Berry, any chance of a video on low net carb wraps? I Love them, not sure they love me.
Why is she mentioning controlling calories? I was under the impression that on keto/carnivore we don’t care about calories.
Ok....... so does too much protein affect weight loss??
I'm working on implementing a keto diet
This isn't keto....it's Atkins.
@catherineroberts5272
Give it whirl! Hope it works for ya!
Greetings from the UK. Love your show and energy. I am 76 and 6 ft 3in tall. Have been on a ketogenic diet for 3-4 months, eating , meat, fish and sea-food, low carb (more pre-biotic veggies) and low oxalate plant matter. No seed oils and cooking with saturated fats and occasionally virgin olive oil. Just had my diabetic check-up. My Hb1ac was 4.7, 6months ago, but now 4.1 (fantastic). However, my total cholesterol was 7.0 up from 4.3. Significantly raised LDL and slightly raised HDL and Triglycerides. Doctor really concerned about LDL levels and wanted me to take statins. I tried to explain that this issue was common on keto/carnivore diets and I was actually happy with this, because my body was in a degree of ketosis. My very mild non-alcoholic diffusely fatty liver was burning away and putting more lipids into my bloodstream. I explained all my massive health benefits, since radically changing my diet. 1. 9Kg weight loss, especially visceral fat, 2. don't feel hungry and know when I'm satified. 3. Great mental clarity. 4. Had BPH for 30years, but now urine flow improved. 5. Sleep better, with less vivid dreaming and waking up. 6. My severe asteroid hyalosis in one eye for 30 years has almost gone and my 55 year short-sightedness has improved so much that I keep forgetting to wear my varifocal glasses. 7 Small patches of psoriasis on face much better. 8. Numerous small flat keratotic flat warts on tops of my feet and up calfs have disappeared. 8. far less stiffness and "fibromyalgic" type aching in my muscles and joints . I rate these improvements as a great success. My doctor thinks I need statins, because she told me that she is worried about any medical liability, if I am not being treated according to their guidelines! Any comments on raised LDL levels from keto dieters? Does it lower eventually?
Many people have this issue and some have suggested to let your doctor know that they can put in you file "advised patient I would like to put them on Statins but patient not willing at this time." And if your signature is needed, to offer it.
Ian… I am so happy for you with all of your health improvements! Hezzah 🎉
Uk Drs have been told by NHS to get patients on statins. I happened to have read some peer reviewed papers about it before I saw my GP. She wasn't very happy when I said I didn't want it and said I'd deal with it by changing my diet - half hearted keto and OMAD. OMAD is really easy for me as I don't often get hungry. Dr. Sent me to the practice dietician who told me to eat carbs less veg and more meat!
A long way of saying the Drs are under pressure to prescribe more statins.
Not sure I understood. Need to be in layman’s terms at least for me
My Doctor warned me about the danger of high cholesterol in the Carnivore Diet, the proof is in the tests. Day 35, just got my blood tests back: S-LDL 2.9, S-HDL 2.0, S-NON HDL 3.4, S-CHOL / HDL 2.7, S-TRIGLYCERIDE 1.0. He is absolutely amazed, we will test again in 90 days!
Well I have lost a boat load of fat and added muscle which is cool for this fat man. I am down in weight by 40+ kgs and things fit nice like my specks and swim wear. Had to buy new stuff now days due to my clothing is to big 😊.
Where can I go to get answers to medical questions I may have about the carnivore diet and how I am trying to implementing it? Any social chat group or someplace more specific? I have been doing carnivore for about 3 weeks and sometimes I just need a sanity check on what I'm doing. Thanks.
Dr Berry, Will you explain what she was trying to say?
Usually love Dr Ken Berry's podcasts. But this one, I was lost in a sea of words. Then I saw in the comments that others too, so it's not as if I had bad sleep last night!
Note to presenters - when something is complex, it helps to use a couple of diagrams or slides.
Is beef necessary for carnivore diet? The only beef I like is hamburger.
Is a hamburger beef or ham
@@liw12 beef
Eat pork, bison, chicken, lamb, turkey, duck, fish, eggs, etc…
@DesertGardenGoddess thank for the info 😊
Is that Steven Tyler's sister?? 😂
I’ve been in a lot of pain for a few weeks, upper abdo radiating into the back after contacting this awful flu going around. I’m assuming it’s my pancreas. I’ve been carnivore for 1 year. I’m awaiting a scan and lipids are high. LDL is 12 HDL 3. I know my GP is going to try and put me on statins at my appt. Help! I know everyone is thinking it’s my diet and I’m going to get some ‘I told you so’s’! What to do?
There's some stuff here I'd have to look into more before I can agree with it. -particularly concerning around gluconeogenesis.
This is my exact question, unfortunately the lady didn’t hit it out of the park. She claims anecdotal evidence, I would have liked to hear more about the gluconeogenisis in the context of a carnivore diet ie 0 carbs high protein and the natural fat in fatty cuts of meat…
Dr Berry please give us your thoughts on Bryan Johnson's work
Question does the Carnivore Diet help clear up papillomavirus (HPV)??

Alright, already......I'll allow you to eat the Walmart meat! Ahhh....you're welcome.
I have been eating a ketovour diet for about 5 months. I have lost about 50 lbs and no longer take insulin injections. All was going well until a few weeks ago when my blood pressure dropped to an average of about 64/42. I had a total loss of energy and frequently felt I was on the verge of fainting. In desperation I started adding some carbs back into my diet (still no sugar, processed or deep fried foods) and almost immediately my blood pressure was back to normal (110/70) and my energy has returned. My blood sugar level has gone up slightly (100-120) but I still take no insulin. Ideas?
My BP was super high in the mornings and dropping crazy low at night. So low, I would wake up with my heart pounding out of my chest. Pulse about 110. I haven’t quite figured it out yet.
Are you on Blood pressure meds? Common on Keto diet, talk to your doctor. Or did you do more exercise? Also common on Keto. Need more info.
When I went to the doctor last week and they checked my blood pressure it was 182 over 103 and they took it twice and it didn't change and at that point I had only been on the carnivore diet for approximately 8 to 10 days so I don't know what's going on there
@@Sabbathissaturday do you have anyone who can monitor your breathing while you sleep? I have found that if I breath very shallow while sleeping (not uncommon) that my pulse rate rises quite a bit.
So when 60% of ingested protein gets converted to glucose through gluconeogenesis, its initial detrimental effect is offset by increased thermogenesis.? (i.e. increased energy expenditure from metabolizing protein). Did I get that right.?
As a trainer and carnivore I'm curious
Dr. Berry, is there no mention of who your guest is, the woman you are interviewing? This seems awfully strange.There is no introduction and I don't see it in the transcript or in the notes either.
At 2:11, isn't low-hanging fruit full of fructose? Does it contain much protein?
@petermadany2779
Oh no you didn't! Adding levity is only going to confuse these mustard brained dullards even more. They're all scrambling to their echo chambers as we speak.
I've heard over and over again that some women tends to start to wake up with racing heart in the middle of the night if they eat too much protein. (For their personal threshold.) Eating more fats and lowering the protein a bit helps. Still not a low protein diet, just not a very high protein diet.
Ive been doing BBBE for about 6 weeks, my macros have been between 60/40 and 70/30 and I lost a bit when I first started but seemed to have stopped. Would adding fat to a 80/20 macro ratio do me better in the weight loss area?
For all the ppl who missed it, 1:25 onwards, the topic being 'thermic effect of protein'.
Yeah I don't know who you are but if you listen close enough you'll understand what they're saying in the video I don't get it, you know like listen closely and pay attention to what's being said if you've got to stop the video at certain points and try to understand what's being said and then go on listening to the video they made perfect sense to me.
Insulin resistant type 2 here. Diet controlled only. 77 years old 160 lbs active, still work in a kitchen 4 hours per day. If I eat more than 80grams of actual protein per day my bg will creep up over time along with weight. no problems when it is fat intake that I keep high to not be hungry.
She did give the disclaimer, “when calories are controlled”.
I love my ribeye steaks from aldis. They mostly sold out yesterday.
Me too! The Never Any ribeyes, pork, bacon, lamb and ground beef are weekly staples now. And sometimes I get their Cornish game hens which are surprisingly high in fat (about equal fat and protein) and make a great affordable dinner (less than $5) if you want something different from time to time.
They always stink to me!
Me too, but I'm in the UK and think the meats are better here than the US aldis .
Dear dr. Berry, PLEASE HELP !! my wife and I are on the carnivore diet since the first of januari, I (59) have no medication, and my wife (65) uses Clopidogrel and Enalapril, she had a stroke in 2017
We already dumped the Statins ! that helped a lot in her feeling better..
We already cut down both drugs in half and are starting to use K2 and D3 to hopefully clean out the artheries of my sweetheart (literally too 😁)
Question: we want to quit all medication for my wife, she does
not smoke or use alcohol.
When is the time to do this, can we stop right now, or when ? our dokter is a good one for other things, but does not support the carnivore lifestyle, so he is not much of a help for us.
please help !
Keep up the good work !
Thanks for changing our lives for the better, we allready feel great !!

My C-Peptide is 1.9, my Fasting Insulin is 8.7 but my hbA1C was 5.8. What do you think it means
Ben Bikmann, Dr. Berry, and others have postulated that on keto or carnivore your red blood cells live longer, which would lead to higher a1c despite have a very healthy average glucose level.
In this situation Dr. Berry recommends getting a glycated albumin lab test to get a better understanding of what's going on.
With that high of a fasting insulin I think you're still a bit insulin resistant
Pretty sure I got it... Protein and fat won't make you fat unless you eat them with carbohydrates.. fitness helps you build muscle which makes a low carb or no carb consumption work even better
I keep getting low blood sugar below 50, not sure why or how to fix it, Thanks
I don't think that 60 grams (out of a 100 g) of protein convert to glucose? I've heard this statement a couple of times and it seems to come from a misunderstanding of some study? Hmmm...have to investigate further....🤔
Huh?
Will excess protein calories convert into triglycerides?
My diet is 85%
I never gain weight
Yes or No
Anyone know where the full version podcast of this is located?
This made absolutely no sense to me. None
I think it’s a clickbait- didn’t expect it from Dr.Berry.
I never watch this woman - extremely unpleasant duck-like face but on Ken Berry podcast I’d expect better explanation
Reading comments, I can tell there is no certain answer for many more viewers
Omg thanks for saying something. I never wanna disparage someone's looks but i can't take her seriously with that face. It doesn't look real. Is it plastic surgery or is that just how she was born? If she was I'm sorry!
